Finding Balance: Honest Conversations on Weight, Sugar, and Alcohol Freedom / EP 016

In our latest episode,  Susan and Ruby answer a listener's question, "I’m 100 Days AF still flummoxed at how I was managing to put away away at least an extra 700 cals a day and yet, I haven’t lost weight?? Blows my mind".  This episode is packed with insightful discussions and practical tips for anyone on an alcohol-free journey or looking to make intentional choices about food habits.  The hosts emphasize the importance of focusing on a few goals at a time and taking a balanced approach to make progress. They discuss the significance of gradual progress and showing self-compassion, especially in the context of an alcohol-free journey.  Ruby shares her experience with cutting out sugar and the unexpected effects it had on her body. The hosts provide strategies for dealing with sugar cravings, including making healthier alternatives and setting oneself up for success by eliminating sugary temptations from the home. Both hosts address the frustration of not losing weight immediately after quitting alcohol and stress the importance of uncoupling weight loss expectations from the alcohol-free journey initially. They encourage listeners to be patient and emphasize the body's need to heal and recalibrate after quitting alcohol.00:00 Body healing and recalibrating to achieve balance.04:24 Separate weight loss from alcohol-free journey.
